Erin and I and going to see The Phantom of the Opera on July 11th! I got Erin tickets for her birthday which was June 11th. We are planning to dress-up, should be stellar even though Erin is a lot more excited than I am.

Let's just say Erin loves her new camera, she is always taking pictures of me at home and of people who come over to the house. Here are two pictures of us (Erin was trying to figure out how to work the timer). Tomorrow we are going with friends to Sylvan Lake, Alberta to hang-out on the beach, have ice cream, and watch fire-works. Should be good times. Then on Sunday I travel to Moose Lake Gospel Camp for the week. I am helping my friend Nathan McLean, who is the Director of camp that week, with worship (drums) and chapel (speaking). Unfortunately Erin can't come with me because she has to work. It will be a relaxing week, I plan to catch-up on homework, rest, and hang-out with new and old friends. I will put pictures up of our weekend when I get back. Happy Canada Day!

Erin graduated from Prairie this last April. Her family came from Oregon for her graduation and we had a really fun weekend. Erin is now working at the Bookroom at Prairie. We are planning to live in Three Hills for another year and then move to Waterloo where I will finish my studies. This year I will continue to take courses through correspondence from the University of Waterloo and work as an Admissions Counselor for Prairie, a job I am really enjoying! I recently won "Rookie of the Year" in Wilmore, Kentucky at the North American Coalition for Christian Admissions Professionals (NACCAP) conference! God has blessed us tremendously and we are very thankful. Bro, good work on pulling off the engagement plan, Nikki, you look very happy in the pictures I've seen. The ring is stellar, nice work. I am very happy for you guys! We will be there on June 2nd for sure! Can't wait!

Erin and I went to Canmore, Alberta last weekend for our one year anniversary. It is hard to believe it has been one year already. We are doing well and really enjoyed our first year together. We stayed at the Marriot Residence, which was tucked away in the mountains. We went shopping in Canmore, had a fancy dinner, went in the hot tub at the hotel, and, of course, watched the hockey game. It was a relaxing weekend. Year two here we come!
